"If for any reason the engine stops, I think I could survive.
卢瑟福说：“如果引擎因为某一原因停止运转，我认为我还能活下来。
I could either land on the land or use the parachute or ditch in the water. I'll be ok," Rutherford said.
我可以降落在陆地上，也可以使用降落伞或紧急迫降在水里。我都会没事的。”
She added, "The problem is if I'm in minus 35 degrees Celsius, once I'm on the ground and I'm three hours away from the closest human, I actually don't know how long I can survive."
她还说：“问题是，如果我在零下35摄氏度，一旦我在地面上，我距离最近的人有三个小时的路程，说实话，我不知道我能活多久。”
